Anyone can get into this business regardless of gender, race, or national origin. Basically, anyone who is not afraid of a little hard work can get into this business. Best of all, you usually only need one or two good customers to keep you busy, and you rarely have to ever meet your customers or deal directly with the public. Most of this business is procured right over the internet and via email, without ever spending a dime on advertising, fancy websites, or even business cards.
All you will need in this business is a truck, or access to one, or some other means to haul the few tools you will need to the job sites. As far as the tools themselves, all you usually need to get started is the kind of things you probably already have laying around, such as a lawn mower, weed eater, vacuum cleaner, broom, shovel, and some basic cleaning products, etc. Even if you are starting with nothing, other than a vehicle, all the items you will need should amount to less than a few hundred dollars to get you started!

Since you will have very little, if any, foot traffic from customers, this business is a perfect home based business for you. You will need minimal office space, and you will only need a small space to store your tools such as a shed or part of a garage. So you can start out small and grow your business as you go!
You should easily be able to earn ,000.00 or more just working part time? Since an average house generally pays around ,000.00 each to cleanout and perform initial maintenance services to, 60 houses per year is really not that many to do. So, if you want to go for the six figure plus income, and work the business full time, there is no limit to your possible earnings! Plus, once you start getting business, it usually continues to come in each and every month without having to resell or even call anyone! Your customer(s) will usually get additional foreclosed properties each month as new foreclosures happen. So, you may only need one or two customers to provide you with a large continuing amount of properties to work on. Best of all, if you take care of your customer(s), they should continue to send you business each and every month as they receive new foreclosures.
But here the catch: There is alot more to this business than just cleaning out and cleaning the house or pushing a broom and using a shovel. Understanding the laws and terms and definitions of the business are of the utmost importance to getting the business started and getting the work initially. You have to understand the business and speak the "lingo" of the business to be able to get the work. Other skills that will be required are changing locks, winterizing the plumbing system, cutting the grass, minor handyman skills, etc. So, can you get into this business without experience? Absolutely, but you will need some training to make sure you understand all the aspects of the business.
Training is important. You see, Foreclosures are an unfortunate by-product of banking and lending. Banks and lenders have their hands full with the paperwork and legal issues surrounding these large numbers of foreclosures. They do not have the time or staff to manage and train maintenance contractors across the nation. Most are extremely busy and they are looking for knowledgeable people to help them with the maintenance of these foreclosures. They want people with some type of knowledge and training in the business. People that understand the business, the laws, and most importantly speak the lingo. In fact, to "weed out" untrained people, alot of them have started a small 10-15 question test that you will have to pass before you can become an approved maintenance contractor for them. The test will have general definitions and questions specific to this business. Even someone that has been a general maintenance contractor for years would most likely not pass this test without training.
So where can you get the training to cleanout and maintain foreclosures? The complete startup and training package: CLEANOUT FORECLOSURES: MAKE MONEY CLEANING OUT AND MAINTAINING FORECLOSURES will teach you everything you could possibly need to know to start and run a successful business in this field. The package includes everything about every aspect of the business, down to the finest details. You won't need a lot of money or tools to start, but you will need a willingness to work. Everything is included in the package that you will need to succeed including another all important key...exactly where and how to get the customers. The opportunity to succeed in this business has never been better! If you have a willingness to learn, not afraid of a little hard work, and you are ready to start a challenging new business - cleaning out and maintaining foreclosures could be the business for you!
